Sticky Note:  Living/Giving out of Christ's Fullness

OK, let's just acknowledge how elusive this feels.  We live in these places of emptiness and scarcity all the time.  I feel it; we all do.  It would be easy to become cynical and say, "Well, maybe in heaven, but not here."

But this promise is for now.  Let's pray in faith that this fullness in the Real Christ will be more of a Reality in us in 2012.

God is able to make all grace abound to you
    -so that
        -having all sufficiency
        -in all things
        -at all times
    -you may abound in every good work.

One thing we cling to, Christ Jesus gave Himself cheerfully, and not grudgingly.  He emptied Himself in order to fill us.  And He is full of grace to empty people.  That's good news!
